The Three Things

Over the past few weeks there have been three things I have been fervently wishing for, striving to achieve, and plain ol' hoping for.

The first was a new girlfriend. As of last weekend, that has well and truly come to pass. Ms. M and I are happily ensconced in the beginnings of a relationship.

The second was getting offered the "dream" position at a non-profit I have always wanted to work at. With a job offer on the table as of this afternoon, I have now achieved that.

Finally, I have always hoped for a $100 million lottery ticket. Most of you know I have played off and on for years. Well, good news folks. Tomorrow's jackpot is $102 million and I bought a ticket. The way things are going in my life right now, I am confident I'll win.

Seriously though, thanks to everyone for their good wishes, suggestions, and encouragement along the way for the first two things.
